This book was so entertaining like the plot was so good. I like that, although the focus is on this crazy stalker romance, each character has their own little side plot going on with them as well. Zade finding and killing these horrible disgusting people while Adeline is trying to solve a cold case from the 40s.
I love Adeline and Zade and i especially love what Zade does as his job and is out there saving people that had their lives taken away. The only problem is that the sex was borderline rapey like I see how it wasn’t in the context that she likes it but it’s little uhmmmm questionable for sure. But each one got better!
Also how dare you end it on a cliffhanger lol ONTO THE NEXT!!
